are journaled in brackets mounted upon the tops of the cylinders E, E and the levers K sre attached to sleeves L rocking on the shafts L. The shafts L and. sleeves L are provided with radial arms L L, which are connected by connecting rods 1,, 5 with bell To all. whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OHARLES'II. Mo'nonn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Worcester, in the l and Commonwealth of Massachucertain new and useful Improvements in a Gas-Engine, of which the following is a specicranks L which are pivoted upon brackets M and carry ficatio'n, reference being had to the accompanying drawcam rolls N, which are actuated by the cams N 2 carried ings, in which upon ashaft N 2 driven from the crank shaft B by means Figure 1 represents a side elevation of embodying my invention. Fig. Zis a plan view. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 3, 3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the rocking shaft to which the pistons is a detached view of one of the engine pistons represented in vertical, central, sec- 21. gas engine of the spur-gears N and N. The cams N 2 rock the tion to the connecting rods L, L, to depress the valve stems in the cylinders E and E In a similar manner the valve stems of the cylinders E, E are depressed by levers 0 attached to rocking sleeves provided with radial arms 0 connected byrods O with bell crank levers O carrying cam rolls 0. which are actuated by the cams O on the cam shaft 1W, to impart a longitudinal thrusting motion to the connecting rods 0 to depress the valve stems in the cylinders E and E.

stems are lifted by springs, mon in engines of this class, thereby rcversin'g the bell cranks and holding their cam rolls against the periphery of the actuating cams.

The radial arms G" and stud arm I are preferably formed integrally with the rocking shaft G and the pistons oi the cylinders E E and E are support ed upon the free ends of the arms G so that the pistons in the cylinders E E E" and E move in unison; the pistons in one pair of cylinders ascending while the pistons in the opposite pair of cylinders are descending, thereby allowing the charge to be ignited alternately in the cylinders of each pair; for example, the charge in cylinder E being ignited and forcing its with the engine letters cylinder;

Similar reference and figures refer to similar My invention relates to-the class 0i engines known as single acting and it has for its objects to couple four or plish these objects by means of the construction and arrangement of parts as hereinafter described and set forth by the annexed claims.

Referring vidcd at its center with l. 'Iitlll{ O and carrying upon one end a fly wheel Dr Mounted upon the base A are the four cylinders E, E E and E, open at their lower ends and provided 18 receiving its charge ready to be compresspd and ignited at itsniext upward movement, and siliiiilarly the I 7 charge is ignited alternately in the cylindcn's on the op- E, E lfF-and E contain pisduplicates of each other, that charge. The cylinders tons E Fig 3 which are in cylinder E beingshown in section in Fig. 3.

' Journalcd in the base A is a rocking shaft G provided with a pair of radial arms G on opposite sides oi the shat t and having their ends extending beneath the open ends of the cylinders and connected bylinks H with the pistons in each cylinder. Extending upwardly from the rocking shaft G and preferably midway between E, at each of its rocking movements, imparting an impulse to the crank shaft twice dun'ngesch completc oscillation of the rocking shaft G.

The stud arm I is placed in the center of the rocking shaft G and the cylinders E E. can be placed in closeproximity to each other as spdpo is only required between them forthe connecti the radial arms G is a stud arin I carrying a stud I opis only required between the itwo rows of cylinders eratively connected with a crank pin C by a connectsufficientto allow for the vibratory movement of the ing rod J, by which the rocking motion of the shaft G stud arm I i .The crank shaft is journaled upon the short base A which requiresbut little floor space and is adapted to resist the strain of the operating parts. The only connection between the valve mechanism at the top of the which are depressed by means of the levers K, Ki.
